chrisobee Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 West Ham should be booted out as the home team and it seems thay are the major culprits though I'm sure they'll be a full enquiry.

I think I heard not many tickets were made available fir the Millwall fans anyway Trouble is that those Millwall "fans" who want a ticket will find a way to get one especially when the clubs are so close. I just wonder though how this happens inside the ground, not enough police I suspect though TBH 1 per fan would probably just about have been enough.

stockportsaint Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 My old boss is a West Ham fan and told me (quite proudly I thought) that the first ever (hooligan-related) death at a British football match was a Millwall fan at West Ham. I have never researched this myself but it's probably true. No surprise there was trouble really, this should surely have been made a special case and played on a Sunday morning or similar. Would be nice if Millwall got a points deduction, but I can't see it happening myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonswan Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 FAW will probably punish Swansea more for tonight than Millwall or West Ham will be. Swans down to 6 men (inc 2 injuries)!!

Game will possibly be called off any minute now. Farce. Ref totally lost control. Eh, you have to call off the game if one team has less than 7 men !! WTH happened ? Ok, this happened ! http://www.swanseacity.net/page/MatchReport/0,,10354~50639,00.html Players red carded: 85 minutes Garry Monk 110 minutes approx Gorka Pintado closely followed by Angel Rangel ( ironic name!) At this point Swansea had already lost one player injured having used all 3 subs. However, I think they finished with 7. I love the final paragraph of the report : Tempers flared during the closing stages ( really, no kidding !) but S****horpe held on. Oh I hope I get to see the highlights ! Poor old Nathan Dyer was one of the 7 still standing I think lol Edited 25 August, 2009 by chrisobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 We had the ref on Saturday, he was awful. Our player robbed their keeper 40 yards out and instead of a red card, he gave them an offside. As we tried to take the FK, their player sprinted full on and rugby tackled the taker to the ground, no red, no yellow. Nothing. He didnt actually know the rules and guessed most decisions.

Master Bates Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Don't agree that we're going back to the bad old days. It was a disgrace what happened, however luckily a one off. Unless West Ham get relegated and Millwall get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever are drawn against West Ham in the next round should get a bye. Heavy-handed punishments for all involved is necessary in order to nip this bullsh*t in the bud. Don't really see how it should affect our World Cup bid. Hooliganism is far worse across the continent, and South Africa is the murder capital of the world.

Your right of course that it should not effect the overall view by Fifa towards Englands bid. What is getting me really annoyed though is how people I have spoke too, seem to think that this is a "new" thing. That it died in the 80's Only have to look on the main board pretty much every Monday to see a trouble after the game thread. Last season there was fighting in the ground between fans/ stewerds etc People shouldn't ostricise (sp?) themselves to it Edited 26 August, 2009 by saint_bert Ruddy iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 agree Bert.. it looked bad but there have only been 13 arrests so far... and the scenes in the ground were mostly idiots running on the pitch...again, happens quite often..even here at SMS..remember pride park in the playoffs..

Sour Mash Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 On what basis is that good? Not that I think it will be affected. A world cup in this country would just provide a further opportunity for the continued over-commercialisation of football, more shiny plastic new grounds, over priced tickets and a stupid amount of hype, with everyone and anyone jumping on the bandwagon. Also much more fun watching England in some far flung corner of the globe. Agree with you that last night's "events" won't make a difference though.

Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't. But if it does over commercialise, it affects that country's football and not the English game. England is already the most expensive place in the world to watch top level football, can you imagine for world cup games? Plus I'd much rather watch England or even a neutral game in a foreign city than Birmingham, Wembley or dare I say it Skatesmouth. Would be an interesting case to argue how much the hosts of recent tournaments have "benefited" from hosting the world cup or euros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
